 This ravine is used frequently by moose coming down to water. 



is practically all igneous, a good deal of obsidian is present, and in 

 places, particularly along the canon sides, the rock is arranged in 

 typical basaltic columns. Very little granite is found except for 

 occasional bowlders which lie in the river beds. 



The country apparently used by the moose is along the tops 

 and sides of the foothills. The lower hills are covered by a 

 growth of inferior pine, mostly scrubby and low, or where this 

 has been burned off by old forest fires it is replaced by a thick 

 tangle of bull-pine. 



The tops of the higher mountains are for the greater part 

 naked, except for a few scattering weather-beaten pines. The 

 sides of the less precipitous mountains, and in places the tops as 

 well, show patches of bayberry bush and a good deal of quaking 

 asp, interspersed with thickets of bull-pine. Lower down, where 

 the sides of the mountain are not too precipitous, a growth of 

 larger pine is found extending into the canons. The bayberry 

 and quaking asp are seen only well up on the sides or on the tops 

 of the mountains. 



The declivities are marked by rocky gullies, which become of

 lower levels often show a considerable growth of the low blue-
